Chapter 1259 Walking

Adams nodded solemnly, and promised to truthfully convey the matter to Audrey, and to help the dwarf mage Belling get a reward.

The four of them came to the banquet today. The meal was just a cover, and the main purpose was to solve the matter of mine vein dividends.

Now that the conditions have been negotiated, everyone is relieved, and there is no need to stay any longer.

Hailaer bid farewell on behalf of everyone, and Adams cast an inquiring look at Sir Custis, seeing that he had no intention of keeping guests, he got up and sent Joan and the others out.

Joan followed his companions out of the villa, looked up at the bright sunshine and clear blue sky, and felt very happy.

100,000 Gold Durga is his biggest income so far. Although this money is not enough to enable him to achieve financial freedom, at least it can make his life more comfortable, and he has the capital to engage in some expensive scientific research projects.

When he was lost in thought, a deep voice suddenly came from behind him.

"Mr. Vader, please stay."

Joan was secretly surprised, and hurriedly turned his head to see that Heimdall appeared behind him at some point, but he didn't even hear the sound of footsteps.

"Mr. Vida, the master invited you to accompany him for a walk in the garden. I wonder if you could take the time to honor him?"

The legendary monk politely conveyed Ser Custis' invitation.

Joan hesitated for a moment, nodded and said, "Of course, it's my honor."

Audrey saw that Sir Custis intended to chat with Joan alone, and heard that Joan accidentally mentioned that he had a close relationship with the Lord's family in his hometown, so she smiled knowingly and greeted her younger brother and Hailar got into the carriage.

Joan followed Heimdall to the garden behind the house, and saw Sir Custis leaning on a cane from a distance, standing beside a bush of peonies, looking at himself with a smile.

The old man's wrinkled face and pale hair, against the backdrop of a clump of blooming flowers, formed a stark contrast between aging and youth, which made him feel sad for a while.

Heimdall stood guard at the gate of the garden, holding his hands in silence, like a guard made of steel.

Joan walked up to Ser Custis and bowed to him.

"You are welcome, child, we are not outsiders."

"I haven't been home for many years. Fortunately, through the intelligence network of 'Son of Liberty', I have a better understanding of the situation in my hometown of Yalfheim."

"I heard that your grandfather, Mr. Guillaume Tell, has passed away. Please accept my condolences."

A look of sadness appeared on the count's face.

"Mr. Thiel is my elder brother. At the beginning, I never thought that the help letter I sent to elder brother Thiel would cause him to suffer the disaster of family destruction. I still feel ashamed when I think about it."

Sighing bitterly, Sir Custis asked Joan, "Brother Tyre...was he still blaming me before he died?"

Joan recalled her grandfather's dying words, shook her head, and replied in a low voice: "The old man didn't blame you, but told me that if I want to find out the mystery of my strange bloodline, I can come to Midgard to ask you for advice. "

Sir Custis nodded in relief, as if he had untied a knot in his heart, and his complexion improved.

"Son, it's a long story about your life experience. Let's talk about it later."

"Let's talk about your studies first. I have been paying attention to your growth this year, and you can always surprise me."

"Joan, congratulations on winning the Rising Star Award. Brother Thiel would be proud of you if he knew what you have achieved."

Joan listened silently, her nose felt a little sour.

"Son, Adams heard from his little niece named Hailar that you still owe a student loan and have always regretted applying for a student loan, isn't that right?"

Facing the old man's question with a gentle smile, Qiao An felt embarrassed and nodded with a blushing face.

"This student loan will be cancelled, and the contract you signed with the company will also be voided. After you graduate, it is of course very good if you want to work in the company. If you don't want to work, you can stay in school to teach, engage in scientific research, or engage in other industries. It's up to you, and I guarantee that no one will interfere with your choice."

Ser Custis said flatly.

"How embarrassing..." Joan was both surprised and delighted.

With his current net worth, in fact, he no longer has to worry about tuition fees.

The student loan is not a big sum of money, even if the liquidated damages are included, he can afford it, but it is a heart disease after all, and every time he thinks about it, he feels unhappy.

Now Sir Custis helped him remove this heart disease lightly, which made him feel a little uneasy besides being grateful, and felt that he deserved it.

"My child, this is just a trivial matter, not worth your attention."

"That's really... thank you so much!"

"You don't need to be polite, I should actually thank you for taking good care of Rebecca."

Ser Custis's smile meant a lot.

Hearing him mention Rebecca, Joan suddenly felt his cheeks burn, and he was so embarrassed that he couldn't bear it.

Obviously, although the lord is in Midgard, he is aware of the affairs of the Alfheim family thousands of miles away, including of course the emotional entanglements between his youngest daughter Rebecca and Joan.

"I'm sorry, Sir, when I left Leiden Port, I made Rebecca sad..."

Joan explained with difficulty, feeling guilty in his heart.

"There's no need to mention these things anymore, Joan, to be honest, if I were you, I'm afraid I would have made the same decision back then."

"Rebecca is still a naive child. She doesn't understand the dangers of the world. She does things on impulse without thinking about the consequences."

"I know it hurts you to say no to her, and it hurts her too, but it's the most logical decision."

"That unhappy breakup hurt both of you, and the once good friends became estranged, but it was just a small disturbance in your life journey, and it doesn't mean that you can't continue to be friends in the future."

"My good boy, after all, you are still young, and you still have an infinite future and countless possibilities. When you are both mature, you may get to know each other again, and the life trajectories that were once divergent will also meet again, and your feelings will also be restored. It will be more profound and mellow than when we first met when we were young, and it will stand the test of time and wind and frost."

Joan stopped and looked at Sir Custis in astonishment.

The old man smiled and patted him on the shoulder.

"Don't be nervous, my child, this is not a prophecy, it's just my best wishes for you and Rebecca as a parent..."

Before he finished speaking, he couldn't help coughing violently.

Qiao An hurriedly supported the old man, patted his thin back, and helped him recover.
